SBI PO Preliminary Examination 2018

Before talking about the time management I would like to tell that you must be well aware of the exam pattern of the SBI PO. Exam pattern should be crystal clear to you. I am explaining here exam pattern of the prelims in brief for those who are having any doubt about the exam pattern. There will be three sections namely English Language, Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning Ability. In English Language there will be 30 questions while in other two sections number of questions will be 35 each. Hence there will be 100 questions of 100 marks. Time limit will be 60 minutes.

Here are some important tips for you:-

The prelim paper is only of 60 minutes. Intense focus is needed to get you through this paper. Do not get distracted.

Know your strengths and weaknesses before you go in for the exam. Attempt the questions that you know you can sail through. Do not try to experiment during the exam.

Do not get attached to any question for long. Solving a difficult question would give you the same marks as a easy ones. So invest your time in questions that are worth it.

As per past trends, about 15% of the questions in the paper will be ‘difficult’. Again, it is advisable to save these questions for later.

Assign time to each question and stick to it. Drop a question if it is taking much longer than your assigned time-per-question.
